I have never done this but in Tradestation 2000 you can code all of your signals into one strategy with a parameter written into each signal such that the signal can be made operative or inoperative and have the optimization switch them all off and on until you have tested all combinations. The...

He clarified things; he gets 14 mpg out of his Hummer.

What's the problem?? That pretty much describes how I think about things. I always encourage people to set goals, and I don't know anybody that won't defend their property in some way shape or form. That is a pretty clear little philosophical argument, not that I'm a philosopher at all, or can...

Wow, if the casinos find out about this they will limit the maximum bet!! Jeez, if some trader had a good system but he had an unusually bad run of luck he would blow out his account!! Better tell everybody Harry, you owe it to them all. :eek:

LOL:D

No fooling. I've seen the volume increase by hundreds and the price go way up within 30 seconds of a headline.

It means Harry is the sane one and all the rest of us are crazy

California, it's a Mexican version of Zimbabwe

Today was a very odd one for me. I started with a list of short candidates and long candidates and I could have swapped them and done about as well!! Another odd thing was that issues that showed promise at the open in both directions did not do as well as issues that took a while to get moving...

One guy I knew of spent a lot of time with neural nets looking for a longer term solution to the markets and the one thing he learned was that he never got anything that worked consistently beyond about a week. He had a buy the dips strategy going. I was able to develope a better one as a...

Actually that was Democrats at their best!!

Fund managers that can't beat the S&P500 bitching about how people don't follow "good investing practices" and are just a bunch of momentum followers. :D

Agreed, filtering the small moves is usually why I add in "extra indicators". I first find a system that works then add in things to keep it out of bad trades and small trades. Taking a signal on a partial bar is really second guessing a signal on a completed bar in another timeframe. This...

These oversimplified views that if you as an individual or we, as a nation will be rewarded for "being good" bother me. Typically the biggest revivals have been followed within a decade by a disaster!! Having a good relationship with God is just not automatically about comfort or prosperity, it...

Something funny but maybe true, some scientists working with mice and mazes concluded that the main difference between humans and mice in some regards was that a mouse would not cling to a belief system about a maze once it failed but a human would try the same approach to a complex problem long...

Tiger Woods on his golf game while coming out of a slump; "All you have to do is believe you can do it". Of course that is after a lifetime of learning and practice. I have found that negative feedback sucks, beating yourself up over things done wrong is possibly no help at all. I research...

The hourly chart of the COMPX (NASDAQ Composite) has a very narrow range bar at the apex of a wedge. Which way will it go?

What is meant by the "dual"?

I have an uninsured friend and she just negotiates costs on everything as she goes along. She gets unbelievably low costs because the doctors overcharge the insurance companies for everything. She also gets very sketchy care. Her daughter broke her arm and did not get a cast, just a sling as an...

I think our focus was on Commies a lot of that time, at least up to maybe 1980 to 85 or so when it started to be understood that the Soviet Union was going to go away of it's own accord. I met immigrants in the US in those years that told me that the Soviet and Eastern Block militaries were not...
